bound, flesh to flesh – v6

we are one flesh together

consummated by God

in the union of our lives.

we are wound tightly, woven

into one being, united under

God’s law, God’s wish

that we are bound.

we are bound, flesh to flesh,

husband and wife;

what God has joined

let none rip apart.

desecrating God’s art

tearing one apart
that which God created
desecrating his art
by cutting apart the union
God’s plan for humankind
bound in holy joining
two lives bound as one
not to be torn apart

together becoming one
one body, one heart

a new unity

no longer separate
two bodies now one
a new unity
in the covenant, begun
life together
as one life
in union
as God intended
from the beginning
the garden

bound, flesh to flesh

consummated by God
in the union of their lives
God’s law, God’s wish
that we are bound
bound, flesh to flesh
husband and wife
what God has joined
let none rip apart
